BUNDLING YARN AND DYEING SAME.

Application filed December 22, 1924. Serial No. 757,439.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it knownthat I, BENJAMIN S. PHET'rn- PLACE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Greenville, in the county of Grcenv-ille and State of South Carolina, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Bundling Yarns and Dyeing Same, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to a tube or core cover or yarn retainer for use in connection with the dyeing of yarns when wound on compressible or rigid tubes or cores, and has for its object to provide, in a manner as hereinafter set forth, a tube cover or yarn retainer for preventing yarns from falling through theopen body of the core or tube when wound on the latter prior "to the dyeing of the yarn.

A further object of the invention is to provide, in a manner as hereinafter set forth, a tube or core carrier or yarn retainer capable of being quickly attached in position to envelope the tube or core, and further constructed in a manner as to permit circulation of the dye liquor therethrough, under such conditions not impairing the dyeing action of the yarn bunch wound on the tube or core.

A further object of the invention is to provide, in a manner as hereinafter set forth,

a tube or core cover or yarn retainer formed from a flexible perforated sheet of fibrous material to dispense with the employment of the knitted tubular covers now in general use, and in this connection it will be stated that the cover now employed is formed from the knitting of an elongated tube and which is cut to the required length for use. By dispensing with the employment of the knitted tube, and substituting the cover of a flexible perforated sheet of fibrous material, a niaterial saving .is had: in cost of operation, as it is materially less expensive to construct the cover from the fibrous sheet with respect to they forming of the covers from 7 Further objects of the invention are to provide, in a. manner as hereinafter set forth,

a tube or core cover or yarn retainer for the purpose referred to which is simple in its construction and arrangement, durable, thoroughly eflicient in its use, conveniently applied to the core or tube, and inexpensive With the foregoing and other objects in view the invention consists of the novel construction, of tube or core carrier or yarn retainer as heroin-after more specifically descrlbed andlllustrated 1n the accompanying drawings, wherein is shown an embodiment of the invention, but it is to be understood tliat changes, variations and modifications can be resorted to which fall within the scope ofthe claims hereunto appended.

In :the drawings wherein like reference characters denote corresponding parts throughout the several views Figure 1 is a sectional elevation of a yarn bunch and further illustrating the adapt-at'ion of a cover or yarn retainer in connection with a. tube or core.

Figure 2 is a an elevation of the cover or yarn retainer.

The cover or yarn retainer can be em-- ployed in connection with a compressible or rigid tube or core, and by way of example the tube or core is illustrative of the com pressible coiled tube andwhich is indicated at 1. The tube or core 1 is what may be termed a material holder and carrier for yarn when dyeing the same. The bunch of yarn carried by the tube-or core 1 is indicated at 2.

As is well known, it necessitates the em ployment of a cover for the tube or core 1, to prevent the yarn from falling through the open body portion of the core or tube 1 when the yarn is wound on the latter prior to the d eing of the yarn. It is also well known is at this cover or yarn retainer, as now used is constructed of knitted material in the form of a tube and is mounted on the core, however, the cover or yarn retainer, in accordance with this invention, is formed from a flexible perforated sheet of fibrous material. The sheet, which is indicated at 3, is polygonal in contour and provided with openings 4, which may be of any suitable contour and by way of example,

the openings 4 are shown circular. The

ron the tube or core 1. When the sheet 3 is set up to constitute the cover the opposed ends thereof over-lap, as indicated at 7 1n Figure 1.

lhe sheet 3 can be constructed from any suitable fibrous material, such as parchment paper, impervious to moisture, that is to say, a Water-proof paper and the sheet may be of the desired length, when the opposed ends thereof are secured together to provide a cylindrical cover, to fit any length or diameter of a compressible or rigid tube or core. It is furthermore to be understood that the sheet 3 can be constructed of any suitable flexible material provided throughout with any shaped perforations and with the opposed ends of the sheet connected together in any suitable manner to provide a cylindrical cover for a compressible or rigid tube or core so that the cover will act as a yarn retainer, to prevent the yarn from falling through the open body of the core or tube and further perforated in such a manner so as not to retard the circulation of the dye liquor during the dyeing operation.

It is thought the many advantages of a cover or yarn retainer. in accordance with this invention can be readily understood and although the preferred embodiment of the invention is as illustrated and described, yet it is to be understood that changes in the detail of construction can he had which will fall within the scope of the invention as claimed.

What I claim is 1. A cover or yarn retainer for the purpose set forth consisting of an impervious flexible sheet of fibrous material provided throughout with spaced perforations and having the ends thereof overlapping, the marginal portion of one face at one of said ends provided with an adhesive for securing said ends together in overlapped position to provide a cover of cylindrical form.

2. A cover or yarn retainer for the'purpose set forth consisting of an impervious flexible sheet of fibrous material provided throughout with spaced perforations and having the ends thereof overlapping, the marginal portion of one face at one of said ends provided with an adhesive for securing said ends together in overlapped position to provide a cover of cylindrical form, said sheet having each of the edges thereof formed throughout with spaced notches.

3. The combination with an open body core for a yarn bunch, of an impervious sheet of paper completely enevloping said core and having the ends thereof overlapping, said sheet provided throughout with spaced perforations, the marginal portion of one face at one of said ends provided with an adhesive substance for securing said ends together in overlapped position to maintain the cover on the core.

4. The combination with an open body core for a yarn bunch, of an impervious sheet of paper completely enveloping said core and having the ends thereof overlapping, said sheet provided throughout with spaced perforations, the marginal portion of one face at one of said ends provided with an adhesive substance for securing said ends together in overlapped position to maintain the cover on the core, said sheet having each of the edges thereof formed throughout with spaced notches.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature hereto.
